    Davina,

    More information would be helpful.
    What kind of cakes?
    Who are you hoping to sell to?
    Is there anything that sets you apart from other bakers?
    Where are you located?

    Anything else you can think of would help.

    Do you have a website that we can see?

    Thanks,
    Mike

    I do all kinds of cakes, wedding, baby showers, birthdays, all occasions.

    My icing sets me apart. It's awesome!!!

    I'm location in Gahanna, Ohio

    And I don't have a web site... except for a myspace(https://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=...) page (which is largely why I'm here... I want to make a web page and I need a name!) Until now I've just been going by Davina's Cakes... but I think it's a little generic.

    Hello Davina,

    It's late and I just wanted to at least spark ideas in my own way - so here goes...

    Your name seems a bit unique... so even if it includes your name, like "Davina's Delicacies" or something, it may work - depending on how you feel about it being too generic!

    ..."Icing" is a good word that brings out sweetness in a delicious, "delicate" kind of way... conjuring up in anyone's memory of their best "icing-cake experiences"...!

    Or, perhaps a tagline about your icing will work instead... e.g. like on your myspace, maybe add to or change "A little sugar never hurts..." to something about how your delicious icing makes everything so much better...?!

    ...M'kay, back to the actual company name... I'm not sure what you will feel works best for your overall presentation, like "Sweet Desires" Custom Cakes... or something else...?!

    *Even if there's no website yet other than a page on myspace, you may want to reserve a domain name right after this too...

    Like I said, it's late... Telling more about your business vision, what sets you apart (icing, etc.) and so on will definitely help... Good brainstorming will bring out a simple and unique name soon, I am sure!

    i agree with Ed in the fact that your name is very unique, and if you use your name it may sound generic to you, but to other people they may have never heard your name before so how about...

    "Sweet Davina's"
    "Cakes by Davina"

    Hope those help!!

    I also think Davina is unique so would keep it in your name.

    Desserts by Davina
    Divinely Davina
    The Icing On the Cake - By Davina
    Definitely Davina Cakes
    Definitely Davina Deserts
    Davina's Confections
    Definitely Davina
    Davina's Divinely Deserts

    I would definitely keep Davina :)

    Hope this helps,
    Mike

    I have to admit, this is kinda fun...

    There are a LOT of variations of "Icing on the Cake" companies out there in various states, but possibly not in OH?

    There is a "Sweet Desires" in the U.K. only (as far as I know); they make fine alcoholic truffles and fudges (The domain is taken but it's for sale, too).

    Aaanyway, your name seems to be a hit. Here are some names from these posts that I looked into for domain availability:

    SWEETDAVINAS.COM
    CAKESBYDAVINA.COM
    DESSERTSBYDAVINA.COM (Great if you have ideas to offer more than cakes, too)
    DIVINELYDAVINA.COM
    DEFINITELYDAVINA.COM (or DEFINITELYDAVINAS.COM)

    ...or...
    DAVINASDELIGHTS.COM

    *I like "It's All About the Icing" for a tagline, too...

    OOOPS! Hey - forget all about that "Sweet Desires" stuff - bad connections to other stuff online!! Your name is better anyway!
